| 369731 | 2005-07-05 20:35:00 | Hiya guys I am getting broadband within the next two weeks (yes, finally). One little problem though, at the place where we want to install the router or whatever the phone connection would be dead (I am stopping my second phone line to afford bb). Any easy way of getting the signal from the other line - is there any site anywhere with schematics how to do it? sarel |

| 369732 | 2005-07-05 21:29:00 | You could get Telecom to rewire it. They did my fathers for nothing. He had cancelled his 2nd phone line too. | pctek (84) | ||

| 369734 | 2005-07-05 21:58:00 | yeh well when I got jetstream I got my second line cut off and had the same problem wiht the nearest jackpoint gonna be dead........being as I'm a pc tech not a telecom tech I got them to re-wire the connector at the junction box on the side of the house........total cost $68 time involved......less than 10 mins......job consisted of man cuts two wires and joins em to two others.......get a wiring diagram and do it yourself.......it' wont be hard at all.....you just got to identify which two wires belong to which phone line....... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 369735 | 2005-07-05 22:21:00 | So do you want telecom ADSL over a phone line, without having a working telephone line. You would probally have to take that up with telecom or xtra. Or get one of your neighbours to get jetstream, and setup a wireless link. |

| 369738 | 2005-07-06 01:04:00 | I just got brodband at my place this month and did the wiring myself. the house is fitted with a monitored alarm, two seperate wireless phones, sky and a standard desk phone & line for the modem (TOTAL 5 points). Got all done by my self using ONE micro line filter as well. can explain if needed my expence was only the cable joiners $15. e-mail i have saved my self $140 of telecom charges/ couple of months of internet usage. too much involved in typing glad to guide you if needed. |

Any easy way of getting the signal from the other line - is there any site anywhere with schematics how to do it? sarel I assume you have the regulat white square outlets? Take the top off & there should be a connection diagram inside. Are there actually two "Wires" coming into the house? Do they or if only one, go to an initial connection box anywhere? Take the top off an outlet, on each circuit, & see what colours are connected. Tell us. PJ |
